Welcome to Day 6 of the very first Little Scraps of Heaven blog hop. You have reached your third destination on the hop. If you have arrived here from Patricia's Blog then you are on the right track, if you came to my blog and want to join in on the hop, please start HERE. If you missed yesterday's post, you can find it HERE (If you are just starting the hop today, make sure you check out all of my other posts from the previous days and sign up for the blog candy, the drawing will be at the end of the hop and a prize from my blog will be awarded for each day of the hop!).

I'm going to go ahead and apologize right now, I REALLY wanted to have a lot more done for this blog hop, but as always, sometimes life gets in the way! I've been sick the whole weekend and so has my daughter, it's nothing that is TOO bad thankfully, but a little cold and feeling just bla kind of makes me want to just lay around and do nothing. Keep in mind though, make sure that you check back daily because I AM doing a giveaway each day and the very last day of the hop I will have a BIG giveaway as well as a BIG project to show... I'm saving the best for last! :-)

Now on to today's project:

Since I haven't really moved from the couch much while being sick, I decided to do a digital layout on my laptop. I love digital scrapbooking and have loads of elements saved on my computer, but I don't do enough with them! One of my favorite place to buy digital elements is Sweet Shoppe Designs, if you haven't checked them out, you must do so! The elements for my layout today didn't come from there, but I did find them somewhere online for free, I'm sorry I can't provide that information for you because I really have no clue where they came from! I just fell in love with the little ladybug bear from LSHD, if you love it too, you can find it HERE. As you can see from the digital layout, I'm featuring MY little ladybug, Reagan. This photo is from her 1st Halloween (she's 3 now, wow how time flies!), I just thought it was simply adorable!

All of my projects (minus today's) from this weeks blog hop will be listed in my eBay listings or in my etsy shop within the week.

Today's giveaway comes from me again. If you haven't checked out my Etsy shop, please do so! I have lots of goodies in there! If you have checked it out, then you know I love to make these little mini keychain albums that are perfect for your wallet sized photos! So today, I'm giving one away! The winner will get the choice of theme/colors.

Here's an example of a keychain/purse mini album and how you can display it...I'm sorry, but my beautiful Vera Bradley purse is not included! :-)

1. Make sure you are a follower of my blog (you can do so by clicking "follow" in the top left corner)

Welcome to Day 5 of the very first Little Scraps of Heaven blog hop. You have reached your third destination on the hop. If you have arrived here from Patricia's Blog then you are on the right track, if you came to my blog and want to join in on the hop, please start HERE. If you missed yesterday's post, you can find it HERE (If you are just starting the hop today, make sure you check out all of my other posts from the previous days and sign up for the blog candy, the drawing will be at the end of the hop and a prize from my blog will be awarded for each day of the hop!).

Like I said yesterday, I've had several projects going on this week that are still unfinished, I'm a day-to-day kind of person so I do my best work last minute! Last night I was feeling a little under the weather and my little one was too, so I'm sorry for such a small project! I usually don't do lots of cards, I'm an album kind of girl. I promise I have more in store, things just didn't work out as planned!

So here's today's project:

I made this little 4x4 card with Bazzil Bling cardstock, and the little Bear in the hat digi stamp is from LSHD and can be found HERE. I loved this little digi stamp and have been wanting to use it for a while. I'm not one who really likes to color, but I thought I'd give it a try! I know the "in" thing is copic markers, well, that's just one thing I don't have and probably will never try, I hear they are expensive!!! I did however buy some prismacolor pencils for my husband (he's quite artsy too!), and I got them out to color this little bear. I recently found a stash of Dr Seuss papers by EK Success that I had from a swap I did a few years ago and they finally came in handy! I added some stitching, ribbon, and a few flowers with bling to finish this card. I hope you all like it!

All of my projects from this weeks blog hop will be listed in my eBay listings or in my etsy shop within the week.

I'm excited about today's giveaway! Celina from Simple Said Cards has been oh so generous to donate a big bunch of goodies for me to give away! If you all haven't checked her out on etsy, you must! I recently got an order of beautiful butterflies & flowers and I cannot wait to use them!!!

You will win all of these yummy goodies!!!

Here's a closeup, You will win these pretty butterflies...

Welcome to Day 4 of the very first Little Scraps of Heaven blog hop. You have reached your third destination on the hop.

If you missed yesterday's post, you can find it HERE (If you are just starting the hop today, make sure you check out all of my other posts from the previous days and sign up for the blog candy, the drawing will be at the end of the hop!).

I have had several projects going this week and I've been putting the finishing touches on them, so today's project kind of plays off of yesterdays. I read all of the comments and see that a lot of you share one thing in common with me, love for the BEACH!!! It's one of my favorite places EVER!

For those of you who have visited my blog before the blog hop, you know that I had a different blog design and it contained photos from my wedding this past September. All of my dreams came true when my prince charming (and childhood best friend) married me in Sunset Beach, NC. Before I show you today's project, I wanted to share a few photos from my wedding with all of you beach lovers! It's winter here in Ohio and very cold, so looking at these photos makes me ready to go back just to put my feet in the water!

Think I jumped in with my wedding dress on? Well of coarse I did!!!! :-)

My daughter loved the beach so much, this was her first trip to the Ocean, we couldn't keep her out of it!

This is the last one, I promise! It's my fave! ♥

Ok, on to my beachy project!

I made this little 4x4 card with Bazzil Bling cardstock, Bo Bunny papers, and the Crab is from the LSHD Under The Sea pattern collection that can be found HERE. I just loved the little crab so much! Isn't he cute? I've had the stamp for a while that says "Sorry I've Been Crabby" It seems to be one I use quite often! LOL I added the little prima flowers for a finishing touch, of coarse they wouldn't be complete without some bling!

All of my projects from this weeks blog hop will be listed in my eBay listings or in my etsy shop within the week.

Today's giveaway of goodies comes from me again! I'm just full of lovely prizes! I wanted to keep the beach theme since lots of you yesterday said you love the beach, so here are some beach/vacation themed goodies for you to win!

About Me

I'm a 31 year old stay at home mom living in Southern Ohio. I am happily married to the love of my life, Brandon. I have a beautiful 5 year old daughter, Reagan, and a handsome 7 year old step-son, Reid. A few years ago I got back into scrapbooking and decided to try online selling again, after losing all interest in my hobby after a downfall I had, I finally gained the strength to start over and try again! I am very thankful for my husband who supports my hobby and is right there with me pushing me to keep at it!
